Interesting episode. I felt bad for Zach since he had to release his Yanma, but it all worked out in the end. The town people were kind of annoying though. I can't believe they accused Zach of working with the con artist. Zach never gave anyone a reason not to believe him and he always admitted when it was his Yanma that broke the windows, so why would he lie now?

Well, this is a good example what the writers wanted to do with filler episodes in Johto: Introducing a new Pokémon and centering the entire episode around it. This was alright in my opnion, but it wasn't that special - considering it felt quite similar to previous filler episodes. Still an alright one though.

Meh, this was a Boring filler episode. That Yanma was nothing but an annyoing Pokémon that stole Ash's hat and caused havoc in the local town by destroying some glass windows with it's wings. Oh well, at least Zach got to keep Yanma at the end.

Team Rocket tried to cause trouble in this episode....... but as usual, they got blasted off.

Actually this episode makes good uses of Physics when Yanyanma flaps it wings to break the glass. I assume Kojiro's Utsubot act like a flycatcher to catch the bug here. Other than that this episode was generally quite boring in my opinion.

Hiroto's Yanyanma stealing Satoshi's cap was humorous, as was seeing how the townspeople feared its wing beats. I thought that Hiroto's father was too strict when he ordered Hiroto to release Yanyanma, but in a surprising twist, it was the Rocket-dan's attack that helped Hiroto keep Yanyanma in the end.

A fair episode. It's a fine Yanma debut, but it feels annoying to have one that breaks windows.

But I agree with this. Team Rocket may be annoyances, but they're useful at times where they actually help out a character of the day to end off in a positive way. Now Zachary can enjoy training with his Yanma without having Yanma's wings beat too intense, Mr. Evans running a smooth business in making glasses, and the town (including Mr. Strussel) can enjoy peace and quiet, with no more windows breaking. Speaking of Mr. Strussel, I wonder what was his special treat for Zachary Evans was...

Thinking back now, since we know that Musashi would eventually capture her own Yanyanma in Shinou, I really wish that instead of this episode being a typical mid-Jouto filler focusing on a one-off character, that Musashi could've been the central character. Her capturing a Yanyanma two sagas in advance here would've been brilliant.
